Given the increase in high-intensity forest fires caused by climate change and changes in land use, it is essential to develop innovative strategies to prevent and mitigate their impacts on human lives and the environment. In this context, the project ‘Integrated adaptive management in strategic areas to reduce vulnerability to forest fires‘ (ZEGI_ADAPT), in which researchers from the Dracones research […]
Within the framework of the technological transformation of the forestry sector, and in the framework of the European project DIGIS3, the University of León through the research group DRACONES, and with the collaboration of the Forestry and Wood Technology Center (CETEMAS) and the company Proceq Screening Eagle, are developing the Proof of Concept (PoC) ‘Mapping and detection of quality wood […]
The objective of this proof of concept was to develop the commercializable product 3DPLY (3D Populus, Laser & Yield) and to demonstrate that it is possible to estimate the volume of standing timber (Yield) with accuracy, precision and speed, in clonal poplar plantations (Populus × euramerica and P. × interamericana), from digital twins generated with mobile laser scanners, classifying the […]
The professor and researcher of the University of León, Flor Álvarez Taboada, presented, at the third national meeting of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) of Spain, held in Gijón (Principality of Asturias), the experience carried out with the timber sector company Garnica, in the town of Valencia de Don Juan (León). A ‘success story’ that began with a customized training […]
Within the framework of the European consortium DIGIS3, the University of León and the company Bosques y Ríos have joined forces to implement a new technological tool to identify when poplar plots have been cut. The activity, led by Sandra Buján, lecturer of the Degree in Geomatics Engineering and Topography and researcher of the DRACONES Group of the Ponferrada Campus, […]
The DRACONES research group, formed by researchers from the Ponferrada Campus of the University of León (ULE), has initiated the development of a proof of concept (PoC) with the company Garnica Samazan, located in France, to transfer 3D technologies available for the quantification and estimation of standing poplar wood volume (Smart Forestry), within the European consortium DIGIS3. This collaboration represents […]
The University of León (ULE), through the DRACONES research group of the Ponferrada Campus and with the collaboration of the ULE Tech-Circular Chair, the Energy City Foundation (CIUDEN), attached to the Institute for Just Transition (ITJ) and dependent on the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO), through the Technology Development Center located in Cubillos del Sil (León), the […]
The workshop, held this week at the company Garnica in the framework of the European Digital Innovation Hub DIGIS3, focused on the technologies available for the quantification of the forestry sector and its transformation. The DRACONES Research Group of the Ponferrada Campus of the University of León (ULE) has given this week a training day on ‘Populus3D: Advanced workshop on […]
Juan Francisco García Marín, rector of the ULE, and researchers of the DRACONES Group have visited the company’s facilities, to learn about the project that is part of DIGIS3, European Hub of Digital Innovation of Castilla y León. The rector of the University of León (ULE) Juan Francisco García Marín has visited the facilities of the company Garnica in Valencia […]
It is a 3D digitalization carried out by means of geoinformatics techniques, which aims to preserve the forest and cultural heritage of León. The Transboundary Museum of the Iberian Mask of Velilla de la Reina hosted on Friday, November 11, a dissemination day organized by the City Council of Cimanes del Tejar, the School of Agricultural and Forestry Engineering (EIAF) […]
